Overnight at the Sillon des Anglais

[@johnvititoe6051]

Roger, I don’t mind your non-sailing video footage, in fact I LOVE it. I like the sounds of the breeze in the sails, the water passing under the hull, the coffee boiling , etc. It’s wonderful to see a person enjoy simple pleasures. You are the envy of many a man.

[@andrewthorne6653]

Could not agree I love it too

[@afloatinawoodenboat]

Absolutely. And the envy of two small boys who one day dream of seeing a real Ilur and tell their friends all about Roger Barnes in the same breath as their other heroes - Steve Backshall (sp?) and Steve Irwin - real adventures!

[@tony59able]

The French word “paisible” came into my mind whilst watching this delightful video. It captures the mood perfectly and was just what I needed. Thanks for sharing the experience. So kind.

[@RogerBurgess]

That opening shot was worth every bit of effort it took to set it up, thank you.

[@johngifford7725]

Amen. Great intro.

[@keithhicks1750]

My sailing days involved, shouting, leaping about, tripping over things, loosing gear overboard, no wonder the family hated it. I wish I’d seen your wonderful videos back then. I might have mended my ways and still been married. 😂

[@DanielJohnson-vr9mw]

Sailing and being married...... at the same time.....a difficult trick.

[@johngifford7725]

Thank you Roger. We need your calming videos more than ever now. Greetings from japan. gary

You've created one of the few "timeless" things I've ever seen on the internet.

[@afloatinawoodenboat]

I really appreciate the effort you took to record this video. It really does capture the “other” reason to go sailing - the quiet mornings, peaceful nights and little crabs clicking underneath your boat. The best mindful soundtrack there is. Thankyou x

[@chrisleggatt3240]

The opening scene of crimson sail against the emerald backdrop, with the soothing soundtrack. Just ace!👌encapsulating one of the many reasons people cruise in dinghies. Peace and Respect Mr Barnes.

[@RogerRoving]

Thank you

[@rodneymaennling5963]

My birthday was July 7th! Your video provided me a belated but happy and cheery gift. At 86 I still need a serious close hauled blow! You have a unique way of bringing to life my 40 and more years of sailing the West Coast of Canada, mostly the Strait of Georgia. Sailing with my wife, we've explored from the San Juans to Desolation Sound. So precious. I am also part of a special five-some group of sailing madbrains; we have met twice yearly since 1979, though now only one of us has a vessel, but we "sail" anyway. Like you Roger, it is the friendships that count, and we "sail along" with tall tales till the gulls interfere..........Thanks Roger! Rodney Vancouver Island

[@OldDadProductions]

Geez you're getting good at this stuff Roger. Very peaceful.. A multi talented chap you are for sure. Lovely spot that one, Thanks for posting

[@ildut4921]

Merci Roger pour cette nouvelle vidéo, c'est un plaisir comme toujours de la visionner. Bon vent à Toi.

[@djmydlack]

Hands down, the best video. Thank you for generously making all the 'placed camera' shots (so, so much logistical fuss but breathtakingingly poignant!) I actually screen-shot some frames they were so beautiful. It's such a funny business living a life. We see through our own eye-holes but we also see in our own minds-eye what we are doing, where we are, even, what it 'means.' Without any verbiage your camera sweeps it up, gathers it in. And sounds too. Reflecting on your video my sound memory brings back the bonk of the cook pot, the thunk of wooden boat parts, a muffled splash, even your real-time reporting of a night owl hunting and fish jumping.

[@TrailerYacht]

Roger's dialogue with natural nautical sound and scant music make these adventures stand apart.

[@johnvititoe6051]

This is a perfect description; I wish I’d written it. If you aren’t a writer, you should be.

[@patrickmay9034]

Sorry clicked the thumbs down by mistake meant to go for the replies. Another lovely piece - glad to see you're keeping well. The IPA looked delicious.

Thank you for this glimpse of nature. So calming. Viewing from a laser sailor on the Connecticut River in the USA 🇺🇸

[@poulidor69]

Hi Roger, I just discovered your channel and it is fantastic. I told my wife that I want to do that... What a way to enjoy sailing, solitude, camaraderie and camping. All inside one place. Oh and these are not pancakes, they are crêpes Bretonnes, very different... all jokes aside i love your channel, thank you for sharing. Franck.

[@chrisshelton3504]

Roger, Every time I see one of your videos, I have to consider the amount of time you spend crafting it. In just the opening, there are so many different angles where you have to place cameras, then retrieve the cameras you had previously placed, and then at home or in a work studio you have to edit out your trips to and from your cameras. I simply wouldn’t have the stamina to do that. Thank you so much for producing such beautiful content and all the labor you have to expend for so many to enjoy!

[@robmarykunzig5533]

What Chris said x 10. I have to try to emulate this - it is in my DNA now -- R

[@PhilbyFavourites]

I’ve just come in from a day’s Powerboat Instructing in the Solent. Busy, busy and yet more busy. Fun and I love it, but this makes me smile as some years ago I had the perfect dinghy cruiser in a little Cornish Cormorant. Sadly it was slow and wallowy and fairly rubbish at punching into any chop. It was replaced by a Wanderer dinghy and I still held such dreams of camping etc. A few circumnavigations of Hayling Island are always a good way to test out the planning skills and get an excellent understanding of tide. In all honesty I became gently bored of getting nowhere slowly and moved to what is lovingly referred to by my dinghy and cruiser sailing friends as “The Dark Side”. I can be there and back in a day. I’ve done enough camping in the wilds around the world and wandering out to dig a hole to do my business is a thrill I’m less enamoured with nowadays. But, back to Roger he makes a wonderful travelogue and it draws you in to the slower pace of life. For me a gentle chug up river and being able to sleep in my own bed at the end of a long day (and feed the cats - who surround me now) is what I look for. Enjoy it Roger and if you ever need an early morning milk delivery and you’re in at least a meter and a half of water in the Solent let me know. Thanks for making my wind down after a day out a relaxing KZbin experience.

[@MrResiman]

That is the best, love your work . Thank you, Stuart , West Oz

[@AndyJarman]

Stuart, there are three of us making Ilurs in WA. You should contact Tony O'Connor in Rockingham. He'll source and cut you all the timber. This time next year we should be having 'raids' in our new boats courtesy of the Old Gaffer's club in Perth.

[@dragonfly8080808]

Your adventures are well produced, inspiring and very relaxing. If anyone can get me back into canoe camping it will be you, I maybe weak and a bit disabled but with the help of my son I feel I've one more trip down the Thames in me. Thanks for sharing and giving me hope that if I take it slowly maybe I can do it. Bon Chance.

[@gordoncraig8238]

You really improved my mood after spending yesterday in a wet garage painting mine. Today the sun has come out and I'm getting on with the last coat of primer. I've devised a pandemic method of turning mine over. It normally takes 6 people to lift it off the framework and turn it over. The sound of owls reminds me of camping in France. I'd love to sail there too.

[@CJSHM]

You are one of the main reasons I was happy to settle for a small boat. I wanted something larger - any maybe I'll upsize one day - but for now, thirteen feet seems like plenty thanks to your inspiration.
